Chapter 431: The Lion Opens His Mouth
Brandt said this, his eyes blinked, and he suddenly said: "The money from the last sale of the engine was all invested in the store, and now you are throwing such a bite in my place, and you are pampered with delicious food and drink, shouldn't it mean?" He looked at him left and right, but apparently asked Eddie for money.
"Really?" Lilac stared at him in disbelief. "You dare to ask us for money? You've got itchy skin, right? Seeing that he was a scoundrel, Lilac couldn't get out of the anger in his belly, and now he was even more angry.
"It's very reasonable, since you don't know each other, you need some compensation for entrusting our friends to you, say, how much do you want?" Add asked, stopping Lilac as she was about to erupt.
"It's still Brother Kande, who understands the world." Brandt sighed, and said with an embarrassed face: "I won't tell you, it's quite inappropriate to promise you privately, once Malcolm comes back, this matter is really difficult to explain, if there is a little money as an introduction, maybe it won't embarrass me too much, and I have to find out to you......" He looked at Hitomi with some reluctance, as if he had just suffered something from her.
"It's up to him for everything you want to do, I'm just a useless shopkeeper." Brandt said pitifully.
"And how do you convince this Malcolm?" Add hurriedly asked again.
"He's not easy...... Brant flattened his mouth. Alone, uninhibited, typical of celibacy, old-fashioned romantic, he is a mixed-race boat dweller, an outcast of the 'Homecoming', with a particularly eccentric temperament, and has always had only one hobby, and only this kind of thing can impress him......"
"You're talking about money, aren't you?" Lilac interrupted Brant coldly, and glanced at him with her eyes from the side.
"Wrong...... But it's not wrong......" Brandt looked slightly embarrassed. "He loves ethyl titanium and the purity the more he loves it, and he collects them and his eyes light up when he sees them...... And you also know what is the purest acetylated titanium of Yinmeng. ”
"Star Coin ......," Lilac snorted. After talking for a long time, I don't want money! It flapped its wings and yelled at Brant, and the poor boatman stiffened his face and retreated.
"How much?" Eddie asked.
"Old acquaintance, give a friendly price, I didn't say it, no more, no less, 100,000 star coins." Brandt said it happily.
"100,000 Star Coins?" Lilac was dumbfounded. "You're not afraid to crush you to death!" It yelled at Brant again, causing the latter to shrank back in horror and take a defensive stance.
"Give it to him, Lilac." Add whispered to the fairies that 100,000 Star Coins was a lot of money for a human, but it wasn't a big deal for the Khand. Vestal is rich in acetinovskite, so almost all Khandians are invisible to ordinary humans.
Although the territory of the Xiaofeng family to which Eddie belongs has no mineral deposits, it is the most prosperous family on the west coast of the First Continent, and for Eddie's trip as a rite of passage, his parents have saved a lot of savings for him over the years, so money is the last thing he has to worry about.
"But Add......" Lilac was reluctant to tell the difference, but Add poked his face out of the mist of his helmet and smiled at the fairy man with a reassuring smile.
"You unscrupulous profiteer!" Lilac seemed helpless to Eddie's plea, and while he scolded, he aggrievedly pulled out his four-dimensional pocket from behind him, and Brant, who saw the door, hurriedly ran over and stood aside and raised his palm.
"This Malcolm ...... When will he come back? Eddie asked Brandt.
"He's unfortunate, he went to the take-off and landing area, I just came from there to see him off, and he should set sail after the supply is finished." Seeing that Lilac finally took out her pocket, Brant hurriedly vacated a shelf.
"Leave it here, leave it here." He greeted Lilac with a smile on his face, and watched the fairy man slowly pull money out of his pocket.
The night will make the sky dark, Folkus has no satellites, the turbid atmosphere makes the planet not see the stars in the sky, because there is no natural light dispersion, the lights that can be seen everywhere in Qingdao Port make the pattern of the port more clear.
Standing in the middle of the street, which had become increasingly less crowded, Eddie looked out into the distance at the take-off and landing area, and through the sight glass in his helmet, he could clearly see the vigorous glow in the airport's civilian area. Hundreds of ships are dotted with neon lights, which merge with the lights and lights of their respective connecting areas, indicating a crowded mooring.
And not far away, spreading to the end of the junction between the wasteland and the sky, the huge military area of Qingdao Port, when the traveling team first came, saw a dense group of silver alliance fleets. Now there was only a flickering and sparse port light, and the massive war machine was nowhere to be seen.
"Why can't you see the Garrison Fleet?" Eddie asked Brant in a strange way, and at this time he was counting the star coins that Lilac had taken out with his eyes shining.
"You mean the Third and Sixth Fleets of the Silver Alliance?" Brant stared at the shiny silver alliance currency in front of him, a little absent-minded. "Go to Bald and start their damn war."
"The Silver Alliance is at war with the Walkens?" Arthur was taken aback when he heard this, the Set Sail has been sailing in remote star fields for a long time in the past six months, and has not had a chance to update the latest information of the Silver Alliance.
"Not really." Brandt looked up and said. "These two fleets have already marched on Valkyria years ago, and now that the Silver Alliance fleet has swarmed out of the Martial Emperor system, it may have already fought with the Vulkens."
"In what name? Start this war? Add asked quickly.
"Nominally? Young master, they are human beings, and it has become a habit to start a war without saying a word, and you can't measure these rude guys by the standards of your own race. Arthur said with some distraught.
"Wrong, they still need excuses to start the war, and at least they need to be able to justify it, hypocrisy and self-deception, although derogatory here, are truly hidden in every inch of their blood." After Brant said this, he saw Lilac, who had stopped moving, looking at him with disdain, and a smile immediately appeared on his lips.
"You're making fun of us too, right?" He picked up a star coin in his palm and tossed it up and down in front of him.
